Yes, you did. I agree. In the SEC, speed is important but length is too, and strength is essential.
Reminds me of Randall Cobb being too slow for P5 football. Players are players.
Alexander recently visited WI and is going to visit AL. Looks like he might be a hard recruit to get here.
I agree with this. 2 of my favorite posters on the board.
Shaun Alexander was too slow for the SEC, too.
not to mention being too small pre bill curry
regarding Randall Cobb. He was one of the best leaders that I have seen come through the program. I have very little insider info but wish to relate something I saw . When RC was a true freshman, he was injured for a game ( I don't know which one but it was fairly early in the year and it was an SEC game). I was located in the stands right on the edge next to the players coming out of the tunnel onto the field. The players were massed, ready to charge onto the field, and the player, turned around facing the other players, was RC getting the other players pumped up. I am doing a poor job of describing the atmosphere but a true freshman had the complete attention and respect of the other players. it was remarkable.
He wasn't super fast, just as good an accelerator to his top speed as their was.
Grumpy, do u know of any specific Georgia kids that r tight with Uk? We have several coaches trying to make inroads in ur talent rich state.
The biggest is Tavion Wallace though UK trails Auburn and it will be hard to get him. Hopefully his brother being a high draft pick helps. Most of the top guys they seem after are in Ohio this year and a couple in KY. Wolf is recruiting Michigan some also
Them and Auburn are the top two. Trevin would have went to Auburn but they fired the Defensive coach recruiting him when they changed head coaches. It is hard to get South Ga kids away from those two schools
I for one appreciate your post grumpyolddog
Same here. Dont think its odd at all that Grump posts here, correct me if I"m wrong but arent you an ex coach with a lot of connections in coaches circles whose retired and keep up with several of the sites in the SEC as your past time? Not a thing wrong or add about that to me, kind of my goal one day.
Not Rembrandt here...no, Mid-TN was Woodward's area and yes, I totally agree it's an area that needs to be a UK focus. Seems I read that'll be Woodford's area now, there and Michigan and of course OL recruiting. Feel good about that, Wolf had some involvement with the Wades, Barion Brown and Shamar Porter. UK/Mid-TN connection is a no brainer IMO.
Don’t see how that losing Coen will hurt us there. Clink did a lot better job of recruiting that area and Wolf has ties there. The last 2 years we have gotten one recruit from there. It isn’t like Coen and Woodward were burning it up there
Could be interesting. Would love to see this happen. Thought he was an OT and top 100 recruit.
At 6’6” Mason Short is pretty damn tall!!
I think Short ends up at GA but it shows the recruiting ability of Wolford that he can get UK on his final list after just a few weeks. Hopefully it eventually pays off.
Messenger has been doing that for years. Changes names and boards but the superiority complex remains
I dont care for the arrogant one!
Lots of posters on this website carry grudges or otherwise negative attitudes toward other posters, not to mention condescending attitudes toward UK coaches and adminustrators, even though few people here actually know one another or our coaches and officials. Such is the maturity and hostility level of some on the board. This has hurt football discourse on the board for years. But these childish matters are a distraction from the football topics and put off most posters. Whenever a thread is hijacked for nutty personal attacks, fans who come here to discuss UK football are done a disservice.
